Sir.-Professor John Smith, in his clear and concise letter on the train techer, has touched very forcibly on Mr. Orme's weak point regarding the newly up- painted Oxford honours man. Of ourse, we must accept the state- meni that the Oxford Honours Graduate, because of his well- trained and cultured mind, is as likely to prove a good teacher as a graduate of some minor Univer-ments, e sily whh also possesses a diplomu hut we must not forget the point that "No person, even of the highest mental and physical attainments, cannot become a more efficient teacher by means of
good Teachers' Training Course." Oxford as well as most Universties give every one of their students the opportunity of benefitting from such a course, Seeing that the Government has
